Best Gift Ideas for Older Women : Cotton Traders

If you always thought Cotton Traders was just about clothing then think again!  They have some lovely items on their website that would make a thoughtful gift for the older woman on your list.  I’ve chosen 14 things I feel would make the best gift ideas for older women … and being a 60 year old woman myself I’d be happy to receive any of them.  Have a browse through the Cotton Traders Christmas Gift Guide and let me know which would be your favourite.

Longline Cable Cardigan

A cardigan is a useful addition to any woman’s wardrobe as they are so versatile.  Wear them as an extra layer around the home or as a very fashionable option for a trip out instead of a coat.  This luxiourisly soft knit cardigan is available in four different colors and comes in sizes 10 to 22.  Plus being machine washable gives it that added bonus.  The perfect gift for any woman who likes to look stylish.

Fair Isle Knitted Slipper Boots

Slippers always make the best gifts at any time of the year but these slipper boots would be especially welcome in winter.  This pull on design with a cozy soft lining makes them one of the best gift ideas for older women.  Plus the robust sole means they’ll last a long time.

Snowy Robin Cushion

I’m always happy to receive seasonal home decor as a gift and this delightful cushion with the watercolour robin is a lovely addition to anyone’s home.  The snowy robin cushion has a linen look fabric on the robin side and a velvety feel on the reverse.

Robin LED Paper House

This beautiful colour-changing lamp is a wonderful gift for older women who love their Christmas decor.  I’d even leave this out throughout the winter (robins aren’t just for Christmas!).  Standing 10.5cm tall, and in the shape of a little house, it casts a lovely warm glow which shows off the winter village, robins and holly perfectly, lovely for a cozy night in.  

Faux Fur Long Hot Water Bottle

The very cosy looking faux fur long hot water bottle would make a good gift for older adults.  At 12cms long this hot water bottle will keep your feet, legs, arms or neck feeling toasty on a cold night.  The cover is removable and should be hand washed.  Definitley one of those practical gifts that will be very welcome in daily life.

Flower Press Kit

This would be a great present for the older woman who fancies trying a new hobby.  The flower press kit which comes in a lovely tin to keep everything together, gives no end to the projects she could create with this great gift idea.  The pressed flowers would be lovely adorning trays, coasters, handmade cards … even iphone covers.  This would make an excellent birthday gift too as the great thing is it can be used all year round.

Reversible Wrap

If she already has enough cardigans, this beautiful reversible wrap to add to her wardrobe may be a good idea.  The reversible feature makes it even more versatile.  A wrap like this is great for the winter and for the cooler nights througout the other seasons of the year.  It has a very luxury feel to it and is machine washable.  

William Morris Lodden Tea For One

One of the best Christmas gifts has to be tea related and this tea for one set is a great option for a best friend, mother or grandmother.  The teapot, cup and saucer with the stunning William Morris print comes in a presentation box which makes it perfect as a special gift.

Lomond Sherpa Throw

I don’t know about you but I just love a cozy throw blanket.  I have one in each room of my house!  The Lomond Sherpa throw comes in red, green or natural check with a cream teddy fleece on the reverse.  The advice on the website is to ‘stoke the fire, pour yourself a whisky, and cozy up’ with this cozy blanket … sounds good to me.

Rustic 5-Piece Photo Frame Set

​I love to display photos around my home, especially of my grandchildren!  What better way to do it than with this lovely five piece photo frame set that comes with a tray to sit them on.  The driftwood effect of the frames will complement your photos perfectly.  To make this a truly unique gift idea why not add some photos to it that will remind the recipient of some special times you’ve had together.  This may even be THE best gift idea for older women.

4 Pack Bath Bomb Gift Set

You can’t go wrong giving bath bombs as a gift and they make a perfect item for a stocking filler too.  This four pack of bath bombs in bergamot, ylang-ylang, lily and sandalwood scents are vegan friendly and peta-approved and arrive in a beautiful little gift box.  

Blissfully Soft Wrap Dressing Gown

This super soft dressing gown is another great idea for a gift this holiday season.  It has patch pockets to the front and a cozy snuggly collar and comes in a variety of colors.  If the UK weather reports are anything to go by then this warm fleecy dressing gown will go down a treat on the cold winter mornings to come.

Set of 2 Robin Mugs

Everyone loves a tea or coffee mug and these cute china mugs come in two designs – robins or stags.  They would look lovely on anyone’s breakfast table or tray.  If you’ve bought the robin cushion above and want to put something else with it then these robin mugs could be just the thing.  The mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe and come in a lovely little gift box.

Gift Card

If you’re really not sure what gift to buy any senior women in your life then why not give them a Cotton Traders gift card so they can spend time browsing the many wonderful things on the website for themselves.  Plus they’ll have 24 months from the date you purchased the gift certificate to spend it.  Such a great way to give them a gift they’ll love.  

I had a wonderful time browsing all the great value gift items and clothing on the Cotton Traders website and ordered several things myself including the Robin LED Paper House, Robin Cushion, Cardigan and Slippers.  There’s definitely lots to choose from for any special occasion … not just Christmas!
